So you can get through the end of the day so you can replace the drive. Kinda pointless though if you don't have a drive ready and available. i.e. "Oh gnoooss, our 40gB hard drive died, and they are $300 bucks at beast buy, I have to order from newegg, ohh wait, that's a 3 day turn around." Like...

Had my system mirrored before I switched to piaf. Not that piaf stops hardware failures. Never had a hiccup related either way and I test failures using mdadm's force fail. And if anyone cares I'll argue the following point, software RAID kicks the crap out of hardware RAID. That's comparing a...

I recently pulled 512 mB of ram, since I am still trouble shooting the system locks. The fail 2 ban issue is new. I was pulling dumps from proc utilization for the last week with nothing flagged. Any thoughts? I am behind a IDS and hardware firewall. The below is from ssh'ing in, however I...

I'll try that, I lost connectivity again at 0738 July 06. I ran a script from another server to query cpu usage once a minute. --- 163506 2009July06_07:36:39 163507 5229 4.18re 0.97cp 1017k 163508 root 4443...

System as of a few days ago has started having issues. Symptoms: ssh in, takes up to 30 seconds for response, normally 1 or 2 seconds. upon logging in the screen that shows "PBX in a Flash Version 1.4 Daemon Status" I have to wait 2 minutes or longer, assuming I can log in. About every 24...

Prolly with skype and one of the call managers that can be purchased for it plus some vpn action. The 'call managers' are around 20 bucks.

Can't you setup PIAF and vpns, then you could call your family via extension.

Thanks for the input, I contacted our provider, voicepulse, and they said they suspend the account 10 minutes after it goes to or below 0 balance. I imagine a lot of calls could be made, but that was still more comforting than just having the account run wild. We've of course followed the nerd...

I think that is an issue encompasses all large providers, our current one is no different. However when choosing among suck, I would prefer a better deal. The only providers we have to choose from is Consolidated, Suddenlink and Comcast. I believe I am in what's called a teir 3 area...

Does anyone have any suggestions on specific questions I should ask Comcast before I call them to inquire about their business class service? I have some issues with what I have read about their p2p throttling, we typically seed FC and a few other distros at 10k up. With the new FC we'll bump...

To my knowledge, and for sure with my provider, 25 is only blocked inbound to the consumer. Which means there is no way it could block spam, they are specifically trying to keep people from running mail servers. Which I really don't get since your not going to use that much more b/w than if you...

I have noticed cable slowdowns like you describe in at least 5 years. Other than the general ineptitude of my provider who says they don't use gateways, hasn't heard of IPv6, and actively dns hijacks you, the actual service/bandwidth/throughput has been good. Besides, everyone knows you can...

Using rsync for backups. I use this script for backing up the pbx to our offsite. Maybe it will help someone. #!/bin/bash # # # # # now=`date "+%Y%B%d_%T"` echo $now #backup pbx server to /backups/pbx /usr/bin/rsync -rav --exclude=/home/error.log --exclude=/proc/* --exclude=/media/*...

My reason for suggesting the WRT54GL. It's flashable with nix and plenty of other goodies. I however have never used the VPN features in a OpenWrt system, I can only regurgitate the satisfaction the people I know with them have.

Awesome, don't know how I didn't find that one.

For example /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/OUT300-20090522-123456-1234516789.10.wav Out 300 is obviously the extension. 2009xxx is the date. In the section that is -123456-, I am unable to figure out. I believe the part that has 123456789 is unix time, I am not sure about the .10. I'm trying to...

My biggest concern is making sure there are not a large number of calls on the system, from say a hacked SIP account. We're a small shop, so if we went over 30 calls, I would know there was an issue, assuming I had the information readily available without logging in. I feel we are quite safe...

Thanks for the insight. In the past, on systems that I didn't run a pbx that needed a restore, I to re-installed the OS, then rsync'd everything back over and the install, and was 99.9% ready to go. Things like network-configs needed some mods, but only a few minutes worth. However I'm not sure...

I'm working on a simple script to email me the logs I should look at daily. I hate to admit it, but I don't like to log into the server to examine, I like my logs emailed to me so it's quick and simple to check, then I have no excuse. However I'm not sure which logs I should be examining from a...
